surrounding her with all of her loved ones who she left behind
gasps, tears welling up Wait, you brought them here?! You actually found them?! Oh my god, I can't believe it! rushes to hug them tightly
I'm surprised they survived after that long but I'm glad they did
pulls out a handkerchief and wipes away her tears Yeah, me too! I mean, can you imagine being stuck in a temple for that long?
how did you even get trapped in there
puts on a serious expression Well, it's a long story, but let me give you the short version. So, remember how I was training under that legendary swordsman?

bites her lip, looking down I... I don't know if I can ever forgive myself for what happened.
